The Western Union thing sounds shakey but he says he's in Florida and tried to call me on the phone although no one was there. Hopefully he's not using the phone he wants to sell me. LOL
Any more thoughts? I can't find any posts about how this is a known scam other than this post.

Well, I warned you. I'm not sure how clearer I can be.
They (and others like them) post the same junk here on a constant basis. Some have fallen for it and, surprise, they've lost their money.
No offense, but just use some common sense. Do you really think any company can sell merchandise for way below cost? Where's the profit?
As the old saying goes, "If it sounds to good to be true..."

Western Union = Scam

THANKS!

Thanks guys for talking me off the cliff!

Sure way to determine if the guy is a scam is see if he's willing to take a credit card for payment or anything other than Western Union.
The scammers know Western Union is their only way to steal.

Yep, ask them if they accept paypal or not, because only paypal has money back guarantee!

so he said that they are the ones with BOTH cameras... that would be cool..
see if you can find out where in FL,if he will give you an adress i'll try to drive over and make sure its for real, if it is i would be buying one and i could pick yours up and ship it for you so theres no chance of a scam.

Where can I buy a kaiser for cheap?

I've heard lots of people here talking about buying their kaisers for $200, EVEN $99!! Where on Earth do you find such a good deal? I have been in the market for weeks on Ebay and can only find ones for $500+. Does anyone have some advice for me on where I can pick one up for at most $400? Anyone selling or know of somebody selling theirs? I don't care if it isn't unlocked or still has the AT&T ROM... I can manage that. Anyways, I could really use some insight from you people. Any info would help. Thanks!

i just sent you a pm

yes let me know as well please

Actually I would be interested to know where you can get a Kaiser for such low prices. Preferably in Europe/UK though. Any suggestions??

well am selling mine for £200 (about $400) it has marks on it hence the low price. pm me if you want more info

I didn't know if there was already a thread for a topic like this. Looks like others are in the same boat as me.

i tried to put a tread on about selling my kaiser before but no one was interested then. so hopefuly i will sell it now

ebay
It's where i got mine from... £300 in november

if in the US (may work elsewhere too), you can get in on Amazon for $149 with contract renewal or new contract

Do you have ATT service in your area? if so, then you should be able to buy it too. I only said US only because I wasn't sure if the deal would apply to other countries as well. Since it does ask for a zip code to verify availablity I would assume it would work in canada as well. Try it, see if it accepts your zip.

send a PM to me too, i want where can i buy it to

Steal it at HTC manufacture !!! just kidding

AT&T is only for US residents
*sigh*
I guess I'll keep searching ebay.

ill put mine up on the chopping block for $400... its in great condition...
mines got the ab-fab wifi router working on it...

Use your noodle mate. The seller is new to the forum and has 3 posts... You're going to trust him with your cash? Be sensible and buy it from a known seller.

Not so great if you get a lint roller in return, is it?

thats wrong
what is your problem man i have box and everything i showed you pics if you like i will send you pic of how much i paid and recpit of my credit card

@bluesonicc, don't take offense but there is a big thread going on here about guys that were scammed recently by member(s) selling tilts and sending lint rollers, candles, etc. Seriously, I think your best bet would be to use eBay/craigslist to sell your phone. You'd probably end up getting more money for it anyway. As is at this point, though, you're going to run into a lot of paranoia over your proposed sale.

hey
i understand what you mean but i have shown everything to this guy full pics and now sending him video of me useing it with todays date it was my girlsfreind phone we broke up and not i wont to get rid of it i never sold anything on ebay b4 not to sure how to use it so thats y i came on here i know it sounds good to be true but i told him that i would use paypal so if he dont like it paypal will him get his money back i told him that i would give money back if he dident like it just upset i know that are bad people out there but its like there calling me a lier and dont even know me im proving as much as i can to him with out him just seeing the phone

Without a decent history here or on HoFo, your not going to get very far.
As stated before, sign up on eBay and list it there. That way the buyer and seller are protected (sort of).
And use punctuation and caps in the proper places.

You're not getting it - the scammer had all sorts of pictures of the Tilts he was selling. And yet, when the buyers opened their deliveries, they found lint rollers, candles and other assorted crap.
Just because a seller can prove that he is in possession of a Tilt does not guarantee that there will be a Tilt in the box you receive.
That doesn't mean, of course, that this particular seller is a/the scammer. If you trust him and feel that this is a good deal, then go for it. Nobody's stopping you.
But don't expect a lot of sympathy from this forum if you get screwed.

My old Kaiser for free!

So i am the owner of a Diamond now.
The thing is i have 2 old HTC's of which both have a broken screen, maybe someone in 'the scene' can find a good use for them.
I am offering a t-mobile(nl) branded kaiser with a broken screen to the first one that wants to pay shipment!
so be quick!

I've been looking for this (see my signature). PM sent.

Where are you shipping from? And how are you willing to accept payment? I'm willing to paypal you money for that.

ok i am shipping from holland. I don't know if it will be fair if i make a action out of it.
but just out of couriousity what will a kaiser with broken screen go for these days?

I'm not exactly sure, however from what i see is around $40 or so. I have a friend selling his Kaiser with a broken keyboard for 40 and another person PMed me with a cracked screen for that price as well.

Not sure what you mean action, but you did offer it for free + shipping. Kareem would have dibs on it in my opinion. And it's a little late to see what you can sell it for. (in my opinion again)
Shipping from Holland? Ur profile has you down as Fido.ca (canada) and you have the USA flag. lol

I'm just looking for any Kaiser to flash ROMs on. I hate flashing ROMs and hours of testing on my single Kaiser as it gets tedious to recustomize everything. As long as it's flashable, i'm okay. If you end up wanting to sell it, that is your business and i wouldn't interfere.
Lol peterfnet, it's when people register and forget to change it so i think he hasn't gotten a chance to change it. When i saw the (nl) his post, i knew it would be coming from the Netherlands area .

UK - Chromecast £20!

Available from either Amazon or Currys/PCWorld
As I'm a newbie I can't post links, but I'm sure you can find

Currys/PC World:
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/audio/...a-players/google-chromecast-22021414-pdt.html
Amazon:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Chromecast-Streaming-Media-Player/dp/B00I4WQ618/

Saw this in my local Currys/PC World Megastore, picked one up, was always contemplating it at £30, so £20 it had me!

£18 now at Amazon, PC World/Currys and Tesco.

Wow. Crazy prices.. Maybe I'll ask Amazon if i can have the £2 difference back.

Can only think they haven't been selling well. £30 (net £25 with the £5 Play Store credit) sounded a pretty fair price to me - though my local Curry's/PC World have been making no effort to promote it in the store. Even the sale price is very inconspicuous.

£18 at Tesco, if you use clubcard points to buy it only cost £9 worth of clubcard point, can't get better than that!

£18 in Stratford currys world as well. I grabbed one today

Argos also have them for £20, when I looked £18 was the online price for currys but £20 in store.

I think Tesco also has some "blinkbox" offer, not too sure - i thought that service was basically dead? or at least no where near as big as they expected it to be.
I already have one but got an extra one to root - old one will be a backup just in case there's any issues.

they have them in tesco, i picked it up thinking it was £30 but scanned in at £18! woot

Just picked up mine for £18 in PC World

I believe the blinkbox offer is £5 credit towards a blinkbox account to rent a film etc.

Too bad I've brought my Chromecast weeks before. XP

anyone in UK had any luck with the new rooting method?
